THE HOUSE: This spacious 3-storey, fully furnished, energy-efficient home (4 bedroom, 3 bathroom) is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe family-friendly neighborhood. It is a 2007 construction that boasts 9-ft ceilings throughout the house, including the basement, and hardwood floors on the main and upper floors. The 4 bedrooms include a master bedroom with king-size bed, impressive walk-in closet, and a large 'his and hers' ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower; 2 junior bedrooms with 1 single and 1 double bed, respectively; and a guest bedroom with a queen bed. The guest bedroom efficiently doubles as a home office.

The main floor plan is open concept, making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with a high-grade Viking gas oven and expansive counter space. Laundry (washer and dryer) is on the upstairs floor across from the bedrooms. The basement is fully finished with poured concrete heated floors, a home gym with iFit treadmill, and home cinema (projector/large screen) connected to PS5 and VR headset. All 3 floors and the back patio have integrated Bluetooth speakers to provide music throughout the house and backyard. The backyard includes a furnished, south-facing deck with plenty of sun, and a BBQ. The use of a Mazda CX5 can be negotiated as well. Utilities (internet, heating, electricity) are included in the $4800 monthly rental fee but this can be negotiated.
